As the public continues to trade down in the Restaurant Sector, CKE will continue to outperform its peers. It recently announced a very aggressive expansion plan into the state of Texas. Texas is a very lucrative market for fast food establishments, so CKE's long term prospects are very bright. It's current dividend yield is 3.4%, with a very managable 33% payout ratio--which means the dividend should be safe. Foward PE is 8.5, so it is actually trading at a discount to its current PE of 11.5. Considering the growth plans in Texas, the projected growth rates look conservative...they certainly have room to expand.

The Facts: My wife is a tiny woman. My wife can spend some serious money on Fast Food. My wife has decided she really likes some of the things on the Hardee's Menu.
The Irrefutable projection: My wife will single-handedly account for double-digit increase in this stock price over the next quarter.

Poor menu choices. Even worse quality. Low traffic will keep quality low in non-meal hours.

Great buy right now as the last period was a winner compared to last year. First two weeks of this period were lights out. The trend is there. This stock could move all the way back to $20 within 6 months

The La Salsa chain has fabulous food and the rest of the chains are pretty good too.

I feel very strongly that when Carl's completes the transition to zero grams of trans fat in early 2008, people won't have to second guess their eating choices and with the quality of Carl's Jr. foods, the choice is clear as to where they will eat. This in turn will definitely cause the stock to rise.

CKE Restaurants owns, operates and franchises around 3,160 quick-service and fast-casual restaurants, primarily under the brand names Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, and La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill. The company’s Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. chains are the tenth and twelfth largest sandwich restaurant chains in the U.S., respectively, based on U.S. system-wide foodservice sales.
The company has reported positive revenue growth and same store sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.The restaurant margins have been showing an upward trend and are expected to increase assuming a sustained sales improvement. This could be said as the company is focusing on the dual brand strategy as the dual-branded units generate 15% higher average unit volumes than those without it. With this approach in mind it has started to roll out its Red Burrito concept as a dual brand in some of the Hardee's stores which is similar to its successful Green Burrito concept in a number of Carl's units.
Since the start of fiscal 2007 the company has reduced its debt significantly by 50% till date. This would help the company to generate excess free cash flow, which can be utilized for store remodels and new store expansions. As the company has been experiencing better average unit volumes in its new restaurants opened when compared to the system as a whole, the investment in new stores would be beneficial for the company.
The company is transitioning from paying down debt to reinvesting in the business. With both of its main brands growing at a good speed the company looks like it is well positioned for growth in the coming future. In long-term it is expected to show an annual growth of 11% to 13% in adjusted EBITDA. Considering all these positive factors in favor of the company, it is expected that the stock will see a bullish trend.
